<< Ephesians 4:18

Ephesians 4:20 >>

Ephesians 4:19

Being past feeling (aphlghkotev). Perfect active participle of apalgew, old word to cease to feel pain, only here in N.T.

To lasciviousness (th aselgeiai). Unbridled lust as in II Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19.

To work all uncleanness (eiv ergasian akaqarsiav pashv). Perhaps prostitution, "for a trading (or work) in all uncleanness." Certainly Corinth and Ephesus could qualify for this charge.

With greediness (en pleoneciai). From pleonekthv, one who always wants more whether money or sexual indulgence as here. The two vices are often connected in the N.T.
